The article examines the features of manipulative texts in Telegram channels covering the Crimean issue in wartime conditions. Method. Based on the content analysis of 15 Telegram channels, the linguistic markers of manipulative influence, mechanisms for narrative formation, and the role of lexical constructions in creating informational confrontation are analyzed. Key manipulation strategies are identified, including selection of information, implicatures, polarization, dramatization, euphemizing, and dysphemization, which are used by pro-Ukrainian and pro-Russian sources to legitimize their own positions and delegitimize the positions of their opponents.
